Barrett Astin was born on October 22, 1991 in Forrest City, AR. Forrest City, also known as “The Jewel of the Delta”, sits about 45 miles West of Memphis, TN and neighbors other booming cities such as Wynne, Earle, Cotton Plant, and Greasy Corner. (As a former resident of The Natural State, I find great joy in finding the most obscure names of towns in rural Arkansas. Toad Suck is another good one.) After finishing his high school career at Forrest City High School, he decided to call the Hogs and continue his baseball career at the University of Arkansas.
